Amazon's 3D Smartphone Is Coming June 18

It's probably for the long-rumored Amazon smartphone. Amazon
posted a video to YouTube that teases the device. The video shows
a bunch of people moving their heads around and getting super
excited.

That's likely because Amazon's smartphone is said to have several
front-facing cameras that can track your head's movement and
display images on the screen in such a way that they appear to
pop out in 3D.

The phone will likely run a heavily modified version of Android,
just like Amazon's line of Kindle Fire tablets. That means you'll
have to get all your apps and services from Amazon's own app
store.

According to BGR, the Amazon phone may take advantage of
AT&T's sponsored data plan, meaning streaming content from
Amazon's video or music products won't count against your monthly
data allotment.

Amazon has made a big push in hardware recently. In addition to
its Kindle Fire line of tablets, it now has Fire
TV, a set-top box that lets you stream video from Amazon and
other popular services like Netflix. Fire TV doubles as a gaming
system for some Android games if you buy an extra controller.

The event will be held in Seattle and appears to be open to the
public. If you want to go, you can
